Malaysia 2017 SEA Games, 29th #KitaJuara




The 2017 Southeast Asian Games was a Southeast Asian multi-sport event that took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  This was the sixth time that Malaysia hosted the games.  Previously, it had also hosted the 1965, 1971, 1977 and 1989 editions of the games.

The games were held from 19 to 30 August 2017, although several events had commenced from 14 August 2017. Around 4646 athletes from 11 participating nations participated at the Games, which featured 404 events in 38 sports.


Medals

The medals of the games were designed by Royal Selangor, which is also the designer company for the torch and the baton. The medals have subtle curved surfaces, rims and edges, and are made of pewter with a disc of kempas wood integrated into the design. They featured the Southeast Asian Games Federation logo on the obverse, and the games logo on the reverse.

Mascot

The official mascot of the 2017 Southeast Asian Games is an anthropomorphic Malayan tiger named Rimau. It was unveiled on 14 November 2015, together with the games' logo and theme. The mascot's name is not only a Malay word for Tiger, but also an abbreviation of the games' core values, namely: Respect, Integrity, Move, Attitude and Unity. He is described as a gracious, friendly, competitive and athletic athlete.


Logo

The logo of the 2017 Southeast Asian Games is an image of a Wau Bulan, a crescent-shaped kite traditionally popular on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The combination of stripes and colours of the logo were derived from the flags of all countries in Southeast Asia. A nationwide competition was held to select the logo of the games which saw a total of 174 entries submitted for the design competition.   The Kuala Lumpur 2017 logo, made by combining the games' logo with the logo of 2017 ASEAN Para Games is sometimes used by the organisers to reflect the common relationship as parallel games of one another with SEA Games being held for the able-bodied athletes and the ASEAN Para games held for the disabled athletes.

Participating nations

All 11 members of Southeast Asian Games Federation :  Brunei,  Cambodia,  Indonesia, Laos,  Malaysia, Myanmar,  Philippines,  Singapore, Thailand,  Timor-Leste, and  Vietnam.

France : Boules

Boules  or jeu de boules, is a collective name for a wide range of games similar to bowls and bocce in which the objective is to throw or roll heavy balls as closely as possible to a small target ball, called the jack. 'Boules' itself is a French loanword that usually refers to the game especially played in France.

Boules-type games are traditional and popular in many European countries and are also popular in some former French colonies in Africa and Asia. Boules games are often played in open spaces (town squares and parks) in villages and towns. Dedicated playing areas for boules-type games are typically large, level, rectangular courts made of flattened earth, gravel, or crushed stone, enclosed in wooden rails or back boards.
